Old Koro is the Keeper of the Sacred Lore. Seven elders gather in his little seaside shack to chart a path for the tribe, a path that will bring together the ancient and the new.
Now, tragic tribal facts, hidden for centuries, must be revealed. Only by washing the blood off the stone, and making an epic voyage to the Long Tides where the wildest of seas contend, can the tribe survive.

NZ Maori deemed Hawaiki to be their ancestral home & Tiki, 1st man from the heavens, to be son of the god of war and the goddess of death.
But half-human, half-bird Manaia, son of Tane and Hine-nui-te-Po, was the 1st.
The 2 tribes lived in harmony for generations but food dwindled & the bird people were ousted.
Follow their perilous paths, even to the Underworlds, retold in this gripping legend.
